Карманная система ПВО: новый дрон-перехватчик «Ёлка» разработали для военных

The new product works similarly to MANPADS, but without explosives on board

A new "Yolka" interceptor drone has been developed for the Russian military. The system is a compact, specialized kinetic interceptor that works similarly to man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS) on the principle of: "acquired the target - fired - forgot."

The target is destroyed by mechanical collision and destruction of the enemy drone's structure, which allows "Yolka" not to use a warhead, although this is optional.

The manufacturer of the "Yolka" air defense drone is currently developing an automated air defense system to protect large military and industrial facilities, in which the role of the human factor in providing air defense will be minimized.

Earlier www1.ru reported that footage of the engine of the secret Russian cruise missile "Banderol" has appeared.
